Shared ownership purchases and Staircasing
Our fee for acting in connection with purchase of an initial share of a new shared ownership lease (as opposed to purchase of an additional share) is £750 plus VAT.

If you are buying additional shares in the property (i.e. staircasing) our fees are £450 plus VAT if there is no lender involved or you remain with your existing lender; and £500 plus VAT if you staircase using a new or different lender.

If you are purchasing a shared ownership property on a re-sale, our fee will be based on the purchase price as per the Standard Fees Table above.

If you are selling a shared ownership property, our fee will be based on the sale price as per the Standard Fees Table above.

Right-to-Buy
Our fees for acting in connection with a Right-to-Buy purchase will be based on the agreed price as per the Standard Fees Table above.

Re-mortgaging
Our fees for acting in connection with a re-mortgage are £500 plus VAT.

Transfer of equity
Our fees for acting in connection with a transfer of equity are £500 plus VAT.

Enfranchisement and Lease extensions
Our fees for acting in connection with the enfranchisement of a property start at £1,000 plus VAT but we can offer a reduction if we act for multiple leaseholders at the same building at the same time.

Disbursements
During the course of your transaction there are likely to be payments due to third parties, i.e. "disbursements". For purchases the disbursements are likely to include search fees, stamp duty land tax, Land Registry fees, notice fees and bank transfer charges. For sales the disbursements are likely to include the cost of obtaining copy documents from the Land Registry and fees payable to your landlord for providing standard sales information.
